Parking Meters Big Headache Barrie Council A despatch from Barrie says: While the 16 members of the town council here were unanimous- ly in favour of the parking meters when they were installed, the ma- chines are not operating satisfac- torily at the present time, and their removal is being considered. After a suggestion was made that they be taken out immediately the majority of council decided to give the Mico Meter Company one more opportunity to try to get the ma- chines in operation. Town Clerk A. W. Smith was instructed to tele- phone the company on Tuesday morning and express the opinions of the council. During recent weeks the ompany has sent four rien to Barrie and arrangements were eventually made to have the machines taken to a Jeweller to check the clocks. But in the words of Ald. J. Edwin Wilson, "they are now an aanoyance to the public and a worry to the police." Mayor Peter Sinclair added, there was something drastically wrong. Members of the council were quite pleased with the operation of the machines and their effect during the summer, but they now feel the town would be better off to have the meters removed than have the majority of them out of operation. The situation has become so bad that the police have been obliged to abandon enforcement of the parking regulations. : At Brantford the staff of Treas- urer E. A. Danby has taken on added duties since meters were in- stalled. They have to count the five cent pieces and pennies that come out of the meters and it's a Job that takes three or four per- Sons two or three hours or better to complete. J The biggest collection to date cov- ering two days of 'parking, Friday and Saturday of last week, brought 13,200 pennies and about, 3,220 five cent pieces, a total of $293. The treasurer's staff has borrow- there is still plenty. of counting, handling and wrapping to be done by hand. LINDSAY ORDERS METERS Lindsay, Dec. 23 .-- Parking meters will be installed on the main streets of Lindsay in the spring. A contract has been signed for 327 meters.

Cornett, head of the meat division of the Retail Merchants' Associa- tion here, has predicted that Can- ddians would be "lucky if they have an ounce of bacon a week by March or April" Commenting on a new Canadian bacon agreement with Great Brit- ain, he did not believe it would have much effect on pork prices in | the Dominion with the average price rise for pork and bacon prob-. ably about 1% cents a pound. But, he said, hog production in Canada was down about 40 per cent at present and packing houses still were on a rigid quota which allow- ed them to slaughter only a certain number of hogs for domestic use. Consequently there was little hope the current bacon shortage situa- serge mer cup fhe (real) captain and they then make the rounds of evely 5 ends, 16 bells are sounded on A woman pedestrian knockedPd missionaries abroad to teach down by an automobile in WindJe sor Sunday, was identified after savages not to do the same, tion would improve.

The Club is liable to a penalty of $2,000 if convicted. As the Lions are incorporated, no individual members are to be charged by the Crown. The Crown Attorney would not say how the pending court case will affect operators of other bingos who, like the Lions Club, may have received permission from city coun- cil to proceed with their affairs. "I'm not saying just where this leaves the bingos," Mr. Savage said, "Most. bingos do offend the Act. You cannot get a municipal pereit to operate a bingo." The charge was laid after the prosecutor had received a report from a special investigator who was present at the "feather party" at- tended by more than 1,000 persons.
